LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A construction official says the new 22,000-seat Louisville arena is on schedule to open Nov. 1.
Bill Hedge, an executive with M.A. Mortenson Co., told The Courier-Journal that construction may actually be a little bit ahead of schedule.
Louisville Arena Authority Chairman Jim Host says more than 90% of the suites have been leased.
Host says seven companies have made offers to be the naming sponsor for the arena, but officials are waiting for the right sponsor to come along. In the meantime, he says, it will just be called the Louisville arena.
